    Abstract In recent years, endovascular treatment has become the first-line revascularisation method for aortoiliac artery occlusive disease. Rarely, aortoiliac artery occlusive disease may be associated with stenosis of the external iliac artery (EIA) that suggested pseudo-stenosis. We describe a case of aortoiliac artery occlusive disease with EIA stenosis without calcification or atheroma. Stent grafts were inserted from the abdominal aorta to the bilateral common iliac arteries. Pre-operative computed tomography and intravascular ultrasound findings confirmed the absence of calcification or atheroma in both EIA, suggesting that the EIA had developed pseudo-stenosis. Following endovascular treatment, the EIA diameter recovered only with balloon dilation after inflow improvement. Consideration is necessary when placing an easy stent graft in the narrow EIA during endovascular treatment for aortoiliac artery occlusive disease with EIA stenosis to avoid a potential stent graft diameter mismatch.

    Abstract Axillary artery injury secondary to shoulder dislocation with humerus fracture is rare. Rupture of the axillary artery during open reduction is extremely rare. Here, we report about a rare case of a ruptured axillary artery during an open reduction for shoulder dislocation with humerus fracture. A 58-year-old man with left shoulder pain because of a fall after alcohol consumption was diagnosed as having left shoulder dislocation with a humerus fracture. He underwent open reduction surgery. During the procedure, bleeding was observed, and further examination through angiography revealed an ruptured axillary artery. To address this urgent situation, stent grafts were promptly deployed retrogradely from the brachial artery. The postoperative course was uneventful, except for brachial plexus palsy. In the emergent setting, endovascular repair is an efficient alternative to conventional open surgery for controlling bleeding when a ruptured axillary artery occur during open reduction for shoulder dislocation.

    Abstract Olfactory impairments contribute to the psychopathology of mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and depression. Recent neuroscience research has shed light on the previously underappreciated olfactory neural circuits involved in regulation of higher brain functions. Although environmental factors such as air pollutants and respiratory viral infections are known to contribute to the risk for psychiatric disorders, the role of nasal inflammation in neurobehavioral outcomes and disease pathophysiology remains poorly understood. Here, we will first provide an overview of published findings on the impact of nasal inflammation in the olfactory system. We will then summarize clinical studies on olfactory impairments in schizophrenia and depression, followed by preclinical evidence on the neurobehavioral outcomes produced by olfactory dysfunction. Lastly, we will discuss the potential impact of nasal inflammation on brain development and function, as well as how we can address the role of nasal inflammation in the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying psychiatric disorders. Considering the current outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), which often causes nasal inflammation and serious adverse effects for olfactory function that might result in long-lasting neuropsychiatric sequelae, this line of research is particularly critical to understanding of the potential significance of nasal inflammation in the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders.

    Abstract Gibberellins are diterpenoid phytohormones that regulate plant growth, and are biosynthesized from a diterpene intermediate, ent-kaurene, which is produced from geranylgeranyl diphosphate via ent-copalyl diphosphate (ent-CDP). The successive 2 cyclization reactions are catalyzed by 2 distinct diterpene synthases, ent-CDP synthase (ent-CPS) and ent-kaurene synthase (KS). Various diterpene synthase genes involved in specialized metabolism were likely created through duplication and neofunctionalization of gibberellin-biosynthetic ent-CPS and KS genes in crops. Brachypodium distachyon is a monocotyledonous species that is a model plant in grasses. We herein found 1 ent-CPS gene homolog BdCPS and 4 tandemly arrayed KS-like genes BdKS1, KSL2, KSL3, and KSL4 in the B. distachyon genome, a simpler collection of paralogs than in crops. Phylogenetic and biochemical analyses showed that BdCPS and BdKS1 are responsible for gibberellin biosynthesis. BdKSL2 and BdKSL3 are suggested to be involved in specialized diterpenoid metabolism. Moreover, we restored KS activity of BdKSL2 through amino acid substitution.

    Abstract Growing evidence implicates altered mTORC1 signaling cascades in the pathophysiology of depression, suggesting that direct modulation of mTORC1 signaling may offer novel therapeutic potential. In this issue of the JCI, Kato and colleagues reported that administration of NV-5138, a recently developed synthetic leucine analog, has a rapid and sustained antidepressant action in rat models via activation of mTORC1 signaling. The investigators also found that the antidepressant effect of NV-5138 is mediated by upregulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling and that NV-5138 treatment produces rapid synaptic responses in the medial prefrontal cortex. These findings highlight the direct activation of mTORC1 signaling as a potential pharmacological intervention for the treatment of depression.

    Abstract In Ypthima multistriata Butler (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae), there are univoltine and bivoltine populations in adjacent areas with similar climatic conditions. A previous study revealed that larvae of both univoltine and bivoltine populations diapause under a constant short day (i.e., a constant short light period; L13:D11), but not under a constant long‐day condition (L16:D8). However, in both types of populations, adults of an overwintering generation appear and oviposit in June and soon thereafter larvae hatch. Therefore, the younger larvae (at least the first instars) of both types of populations experience a long day; nevertheless, the larvae of univoltine populations diapause in nature. To resolve this inconsistency, we set up two hypotheses: (1) the photosensitive stage of larvae is the second instar or later, and (2) the photosensitive stage of univoltine populations is later than that of bivoltine populations. To test these hypotheses, we performed rearing experiments with two univoltine populations and two bivoltine ones. The results indicated that the photosensitive stage was the second or third instar and that the photosensitive stage was later in one univoltine population than in the two bivoltine populations. Larvae of the other univoltine population diapaused under all conditions. The former result supports our hypothesis, and the latter result indicates that the response to photoperiod is different among univoltine populations. In addition, larval development was slower in one univoltine population than in the bivoltine populations, which also delays the timing of the diapause decision in this univoltine population. Larvae that experienced a long day during the first and middle instars but experienced a short day at the end of their larval stage developed faster than larvae that experienced a constant long day. This may be an adaptation to enable emergence before the start of a cold season that is unsuitable for reproduction.

    Abstract Type B aortic dissection (TBAD) is a rare but catastrophic complication of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). We report two cases of TBAD occurring in the perioperative period of EVAR. The intraoperative and postoperative courses were unremarkable. Routine postoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed TBAD. Conservative treatment was successful, and no adverse aortic events occurred. TBAD that occurs in the perioperative period is likely to be iatrogenic in origin, uncomplicated, and managed with medical therapy: its prognosis is better than when the condition develops in the midterm postoperative period.

    Abstract Although there are a number of clinically effective treatments for depression, many patients exhibit treatment resistance. Recent clinical and preclinical studies reveal that peripheral and brain immune changes and inflammation are involved in the pathophysiology of depression. This 'Inflamed Brain' research provides critical clues for understanding of disease pathophysiology and many candidate molecules that are potentially useful for identifying novel drug targets for the treatment of depression. In this review, we will present clinical evidence on the role of inflammation in the pathophysiology of depression. We will also summarize current clinical trials which test drugs targeting inflammation for the treatment of patients with depression. Furthermore, we will briefly provide preclinical evidence demonstrating altered immune system function and inflammation in stress-induced animal models and will discuss the future potential of inflammation-related drug targets. Collectively, inflammatory signatures identified in clinical and preclinical studies may allow us to stratify depressive patients based on biotypes, contributing to the development of novel mechanism-based interventions that target specific patient populations.

    Abstract Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and oxidative stress lead to protein misfolding, and the resulting accumulation of protein aggregates is often associated with the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and prion disease. Small molecules preventing these pathogenic processes may be effective interventions for such neurodegenerative disorders. In this paper, we identify several novel oxindole compounds that can prevent ER stress- and oxidative stress-induced cell death. Among them, derivatives of the lead compound GIF-0726-r in which a hydrogen atom at the oxindole ring 5 position is substituted with a methyl (GIF-0852-r), bromine (GIF-0854-r), or nitro (GIF-0856-r) group potently suppressed global ER stress. Furthermore, GIF-0854-r and -0856-r prevented protein aggregate accumulation
